Act 355 rally not right as it's politically motivated - Dr M



Contrary to the organisers' denials, Bersatu chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad today said he viewed PAS' Act 355 rally yesterday as being politically motivated.
Mahathir said while the crowd had prayed for proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act (Act 355) to be passed in Parliament, the organisers' real intentions are still questionable.
"In Islam your intention is very important. If the intention (of the rally) was to win in the 14th general elections, that is wrong.
"If the intention was to uphold Islam, that is good.
“But it looks like the intention was political, so it becomes wrong," he told reporters during a press conference after attending PKR Bandar Tun Razak's Chinese New Year function at Flat Seri Johor in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.
The PAS-led rally at Padang Merbok yesterday was organised to garner support for PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's Private Member's Bill to amend to Act 355, to remove the final obstacle for PAS-led Kelantan to implement hudud.

The motion on the bill is expected to be debated in the Dewan Rakyat at the upcoming March sitting.
Critics have described the rally as a platform to unite PAS and Umno leaders ahead of GE14, following several leaders from the ruling party showing support for the event yesterday.
Top PAS leaders had maintained that it would not pursue political cooperation with Umno, saying it remains open to work with any party that supports its agenda to uphold Islam.
